A homeowner in Tulsa, OK, stopped a home burglary and then subdued the intruder by hogtying him in the front yard - all without being late for work.
"That folding chair was in her bedroom, shattered glass all over the place, and I said, 'A raccoon didn't do that.' And he was just like, 'Oh God,'" Houston said.
They heard rustling inside the garage and Houston's husband went to the front door. "And then he waited for him to come out and then he bum-rushed him," she said.
He did more than just bum-rush him--her husband tied Robert Cole's hands and feet behind his back; hogtied him.
"I was like, 'That's my man!' I was really proud of him," Houston said.
As soon as Cole was tied up, Houston said her husband turned to her and said he had to leave, had to go work. That's why we couldn't talk to him today.
So, he called police and let his wife watch over his catch.
Police at the scene say he appeared to be on drugs and he believed he was actually in another town.
Cole was charged with possession of drugs and larceny of merchandise in 2011, but the charges were later dismissed.
He is being held at the Tulsa County jail in lieu of $32,079 bond.
